>> In 1990, at the age of 26, Terri suffered a mysterious cardio-respiratory arrest

And therein is the key to this whole story. How did a healthy young woman, almost surely asleep, end up face down on a hallway floor, in cardiac arrest and near death, shortly after her husband came home late on a Saturday night? Why did her blood tests show lactic acidosis (caused by extreme exertion in the absence of oxygen)? Why did the only witness, Michael, lie to police about everything being fine between them when he and Terri had had a terrible row that very day?

These questions will be answered, perhaps sooner than later. Many people are keeping dirty little secrets. How long before one of them breaks?

(Using the right word instead of the almost-right word is like getting laid instead of laid off.)

Catholics around the country are turning to their churches for similar fill-in-the-blank documents that turn Catholic teachings into legally binding agreements about how they want to die. Many signers cite the case of Terry Schiavo, a Catholic woman in a persistent vegetative state who last year ended up at the center of a legal battle over whether she should be allowed to die.

Ultimately, her husband ordered her feeding tube removed, and she died. Some, including the Vatican, likened her death to murder.

"I don't think I have any right as a Catholic to say when my life should end," Kelly said. "I don't think I have a right to take my own life, a right to take anyone else's life, and I certainly don't want anyone taking my own life."
